Cuti Romero shows major recovery progress, 29 days before 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Eager to remain in the English capital to await the outcome of Tottenham Hotspur’s fight to stay in the Premier League, the center-back continues his rehabilitation under the supervision of Argentina national team physiotherapist Luis García.

The invisible work is the kind no one sees… and that is exactly what Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero is doing in London as he recovers from the ligament injury he suffered at Tottenham Hotspur on April 13 in the match the London side played against Sunderland. Racing against the clock and seeking peak condition, the Albiceleste’s starting defender is already without a brace and doing rehabilitation exercises.

In the original plan, the Tottenham captain was going to travel to Buenos Aires, specifically to the Lionel Messi Training Center in Ezeiza, to complete his rehabilitation, but the player’s commitment to his team’s future, as it fights to avoid relegation from the Premier League, changed those plans and kept him in London.

As a result, the medical staff set up operations in the English capital, and physiotherapist Luis García traveled there to complete the rehabilitation process of the starter and third captain of the ‘Scaloneta’. Now without a brace, the defender himself included photos of his work with the national team medical staff member in a reel on his Instagram account.

The defender’s recovery process was expected to take between 6 and 7 weeks from the time of his injury, which makes the friendlies against Honduras (June 6 in Texas) and Iceland (June 9 in Alabama) vital to getting ‘Cuti’ up to speed for the debut against Algeria on June 16 in Kansas.

Beyond the World Cup, Cuti decides his future: Tottenham or Atlético de Madrid?

At the same time, once Tottenham’s fate this season is decided (they still have two matches left against Chelsea and Everton) in the battle to remain in the top tier of English football (they currently occupy the last safe spot, two points ahead of West Ham), ‘Cuti’ Romero must decide his future for next season.

Everything seems to indicate that, despite renewing his contract with Spurs last year until 2029 and the intentions of London club chairman Peter Charrington (who succeeded Daniel Levy) and CEO Vinai Venkatesham, the Argentine defender wants a change of scenery, and Atlético de Madrid — with ‘Cholo’ Simeone renewed for two more years — could be Cuti’s destination for the 2026/27 season in the post-World Cup era.
